Graduation: the passage of time
Holding back the tears, I pause and take a breath as I watched my youngest child make her way toward the bandstand. She has become a young woman, confidently entering into the next chapter of her life. The top of her cap is decorated with photos of her friends and the people in her life that she loves. A mothers pride fills my heart, as I look at my daughter and her friends, little girls that I have watched grow into young women.

Taking stock of the visioning process
By TOM KANE
This is a good time to deliver a status report on past activities of the Visioning Committee of the Upper Delaware River Corridor and take a quick glimpse into the future.
Over the past year, the committee held 16 meetings in communities on both sides of the river in Sullivan, Wayne and Pike Counties to find out what was on residents minds as the area braces for rapid growth..
The meetings were very well attended. Well over 600 people shared their opinions and priorities in this consensus building process.
The first set of meetings was held in the morning for municipal officials and interested residents.
After these five meetings, people suggested that we hold meetings in the evening so folks who work can have input into the visioning process.
